In my Aura H2O the contrast is fine, not sure if the PW3 is comparable.
Are page press buttons and flush screen worth it to get the Voyage?

I have a Paperwhite 3 and a Voyage. All in all I prefer the Voyage but not by that much. I'm not sure it's worth the price difference. That said, I do prefer it because of how it feels in my hand.
I don't use the Page Press or the self adjusting light so feature-wise they're the same device to me. I did try the Page Press for a while and I was surprised by how well it works but I'm so used to swiping I'd usually forget to use it. Eventually I turned it off. I rarely have need to adjust the light's brightness and I found the self-adjusting light overdid it. I turned it off.
The things I like about the Voyage are that it's lighter and smaller. I also prefer the power button in the back although with the cover on that doesn't matter as much since opening the cover wakes it up.
The thing I like better about the Paperwhite, which took a long time to decide, is the screen's raised bezel. I actually bought the Voyage because of the flush bezel and for the longest time I thought that was it's greatest feature. Over time though I realizes that I found myself accidentally turning a page with the Voyage which I rarely did with the Paperwhite. It doesn't happen often enough to be a problem but it doesn't happen at all with the Paperwhite.
All in all I enjoy the Voyage more. If I ever have to replace one I'm not sure which one I'll get. It probably depends on how much money I can spare at the time.
All in all in all, a coin toss is a pretty good way to choose between them.
